Agar RF-12 No Rinse Food Grade Sanitiser Concentrate for Commercial Kitchens 5L

Why RF12 Is Used to Maintain Hygiene Standards Without Final Rinsing

The RF12 No Rinse Sanitiser Concentrate is a professional food-grade cleaning solution made for commercial kitchens and export facilities to eliminate bacteria without a final rinse step. It effectively kills pathogens such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus while leaving a non-toxic protective barrier on hard surfaces. This neutral pH formula supports strict hygiene standards in HACCP managed environments.

How RF12 Sanitiser Works to Prevent Bacterial Regrowth

RF12 uses a benzalkonium chloride based formulation that remains active on treated surfaces to inhibit bacterial regrowth after application. Unlike traditional sanitisers that require rinsing, RF12 allows hard non porous surfaces to air dry while maintaining antimicrobial protection. This reduces downtime, conserves water, and supports continuous operation in high demand food preparation and processing areas.

Where Can You Use This Sanitiser?

• Commercial kitchens and food preparation areas
• Hard non-porous surfaces (stainless steel benches, equipment)
• Food production lines and export facilities
• Porous and semi-porous surfaces (requires rinsing)
• HACCP managed facilities

How to Use RF12 Sanitiser

Hard Non Porous Surfaces

- Dilution: Dilute Agar RF12 Sanitiser Concentrate according to the specific application and required sanitizing strength. Common dilution ratios are as follows:
For general sanitizing, dilute at a ratio of 1:100 (1 part concentrate to 100 parts water).
For heavy-duty sanitizing or food preparation areas, use a stronger dilution ratio of 1:50 (1 part concentrate to 50 parts water).
- Application: Apply the diluted solution to surfaces using a clean cloth, sponge, or spray bottle. Ensure thorough coverage and allow the solution to remain on the surface for the recommended contact time to achieve optimal sanitising results.
- Rinsing: For food contact surfaces, rinse with clean water after sanitizing to remove any residue and ensure safety.
